Plasma applications cover an extremely wide range of density \(n\)  from \( 10^{6}\)  to \(10^{34} \ \rm m^{-3}\)  and temperature \(k_BT\)  from \(10^{-1}\)  to \(10^{10} \ \rm eV\)  [1]}.
As F. Chen wrote in his famous monograph [2]}, "What makes plasmas particularly difficult to analyze is the fact that the densities fall in an intermediate range. They behave sometimes like fluids, and sometimes like a collection of individual particles."
A qualitative classification of typical plasma regimes with respect to density and temperature is presented in Fig. REF .
In this paper, we confine ourselves to the study of classical, non-relativistic and weakly coupled plasmas, e.g. the magnetosphere, whose behaviors can be well described by the kinetic theory of gases.
